I was in Goleta, California, heading to my campsite right past the Bacara Resort now they changed the name to the Ritz at the dead end where the oil rig gate is i got past the gate going West to the trail that leads to my campsite and i saw a Green Fireball 3ft diameter with a short tail 100 feet off to my right (North) flying horizontally going West 40feet above the train tracks it sounded like the wind hitting a softball when it flies thru the air. It lit up my whole visual area unusually bright a color of green that i have never seen before. It passed right by lasted 4 or 5 seconds. It was definitely flying a horizontal flight path. I saw it from 100 ft away i got a close-up breif look at it. It was an awesome experience.
